Sleeping 😴

Hi all just want to kask if anyone is on the same boat right now.

My little boy is going to be 4month this month.
All has been fine just now few days he is struggling to follow is routine. Today is second day that he doesn't want to go sleep he fights his sleep. Take him long until he fall asleep.
I don't know if it's the heat or sleep regression
Yesterday he fall asleep at 11pm and he was awake since 7.30pm
My partner is from Monday on nights. I will be here on my own don't know how to cope with this.
I don't know whats really going on as he was good with sleeping now is so hard to put him down
Anyone any tips ?

Now still no sleeping he is awake since 6.45

Rather than following his routine that you’ve set, why don’t you try following his cues?

We’re similar age and find that he only goes to sleep in the sling and we contact nap for longer naps (and for cuddles).

I do follow him I even let him to get tired but still he doesn't want to go sleep

I think it's the heat as my little girl is the same. Gets super fussy and takes forever to get to sleep. I'm hoping once it cools off they will eventually begin to settle again as we were just starting to get into a routine

yh my boy is the same
Hope it will cool down soon. As the heat is too much.

The heat will impact his sleep, but continue with your usual routine.

It is normal for babies to wake through the night, it protects them from SIDs. 11pm-7.30am is a long sleep window for one so young.

Following his routine is better than putting one in yourself. Let him sleep/nap when he needs instead of waking him and stipulating a time for sleep ensures their sleep cycles are more natural and will prevent sleep issues later in life.

thank you very much.

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

11 month old constantly standing in cot

Please tell me someone has some advice for this cause wow it’s trying. My almost 11 month old is fully on the move now and his new favourite thing is repeatedly pulling to stand in his cot. The problem is that he wears a sleep sack (mainly so his legs don’t get stuck between the bars tbh lol) so he’s not stable enough to lower himself down. So earlier he fell backwards and hit is head and now we feel like we can’t just leave him to it. Typically it’s his first full day at nursery tomorrow and my first day back at work IT’S LIKE HE KNOWS!!
Please tell me someone has some tips. Currently we are quietly placing him back on his back every time but he just keeps doing it! 🤣🤡

My seven year old

Is out of control. Her dad and I share 50/50 and when she comes to my house she is so mean. And idk what to do

Took 9 week old to a family party where there was loud music and she was next to the speaker for most of the time (about 3 hours). She slept through most of it. Do you think she has hearing loss from this?

Freaking out right now :(

Bedtime

What time are you getting your LOs down for the night now and how are you finding bedtime? We’ve had the sane routine since my daughter was a few weeks old - bath with her older sister and 6.45, followed by a bottle and ideally in bed by 7.30. This worked at first but over the last few weeks she’s been fighting it a lot and, with the exception of a few days last week which were a lot easier, it’s a bit of a battle to get her down and features a lot of screaming and resettling. Not sure if we are putting her down too early or late? Her last nap is usually a cat nap (30-45 mins) and finishes by 6. She’s pretty good at settling herself from a night feed, but seems to be unable to do it at bedtime, even with her dummy.
